Where's The Money, Mayweather?


Floyd Mayweather is being evicted from his Las Vegas offices for non-payment of rent.

From The NY Post
Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. got knocked out of his Las Vegas office space for his marketing company, Mayweather Promotions. Employees were given notice Tuesday and packed up their things in a rental vehicle before the landlord locked the doors, sources say. According to a complaint in Las Vegas district court, Mayweather, who in May earned $22.5 million for fighting Sugar Shane Mosely in Vegas, is five months behind on rent and owes the landlord more than $63,000. But Mayweather's lawyer, Jeffrey Morse, says he's withholding rent because the property's conditions were substandard, though he didn't give specifics. "Mayweather gave notice to the landlord," Morse said. "It's been at least two months since he decided to leave." He still has a year left on a three-year lease for $10,781 per month. He's expected to file a response by Aug. 17.
